It Survived the Vietnam War - Now I’m Bringing It Back to Life - Restoration ASMR

[@gregmason2208]

Nice job. I am from Australia and remember the Vietnam days well. Now much older realize we should never have been there in the first place.

Unfortunately, that’s true. Thank you very much for watching! 🫶

[@SamMorris-e2o]

The United States since you asked. And I wonder if my father has any trench art from Vietnam. 🤔 By him or by any of the other sailors. Just because you’re on a boat doesn’t mean you don’t feel like creating something at times. Art knows no boundaries.

[@Re-flame]

I’m sure sailors made their own relics. For example, during long voyages, they often crafted items like scrimshaw - carvings or engravings on whale bone or ivory. It was a way to pass the time and create something personal to remember their journeys.

[@LarryKeeton-c3u]

10 is not enough for that, made a tear come to my eye.

[@asteverino8569]

Great job on this historical artifact. I remember these times well. I admire your talent, researching, restoration ethic,(if that is such a thing), dexterity and little humorous details you include.

[@Re-flame]

Thank you very much for such kind words! I’m really pleased that my work brings back warm memories for you. I put my heart into every restoration, and your words inspire me to keep improving. I'm glad you noticed even the small details and humor! 😊

I was in Vietnam 1969 and 1970 and have never run across a lighter that look like this. We were all using Zippos by the time I got there. But what a beautiful thing to have...

[@Re-flame]

Thank you for sharing your story! Zippos have such a rich history, especially during that time. I’m glad you enjoyed this lighter-it’s truly a unique piece of history.

[@trimule]

@@Re-flame Not sure if your national culture would be aware of a footnote to the history of the Viet Nam War concerning Zippo lighters. American soldiers were shown in news films on US television walking through a rural village and setting the houses on fire by holding Zippo lighters to the edge of the straw roofs. This was very upsetting to a lot of people. We were supposed to be the "Good Guys" and here were young American boys burning down poor peoples houses - the very people we were supposed to be there to protect from this sort of thing.

[@Re-flame]

This is truly a tragic episode that highlights the complexity and contradictions of war. Such actions could provoke confusion and anger, especially among those who believed in the mission of “protecting” civilians. This case became a symbol of moral dilemmas and the loss of trust in the Vietnam War.

[@LadyLeigh]

Australia! Superbly executed. If only that little lighter could talk, what a story it would have!

[@Re-flame]

Thank you so much! I agree, if this little lighter could talk, it would definitely have an incredible story to tell!

[@bigboy9706]

Fantastic job. It's beautiful

Вітаю. Дивлюсь із Польщі. Скажіть будь ласка, на хвилині <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="209">3:29</a> цей ACID це був оцет 10%? І друге питання: якщо латунь жовта, то не треба боятися, що вона почервоніє від оцту? Дякую!

[@Re-flame]

Привіт 🙋‍♂️ 9% оцет , латунь може по червоніти але це легко прибрати абразивом або полірувальною пастою.

[@feelisgood]

@@Re-flame Дякую за відповідь. А як саме працює оцет із латунню? Якого роду забруднення прибирає? Він зможе прибрати коричневі плями, схожі на іржу?

[@Re-flame]

Він розчиняє іржу , патину та оксидні плівки. Треба розуміти якого походження ті плями, спробуйте , якщо не допоможе то прокипʼятіть у розчині лимонної кислоти 100г/1 літр води, але при цьому варіанті почервоніє точно

WwII my uncles made paper boats waxed them set them on fire and sent them down the privy holes I the latrines , as the ship raised and lowered the paper boats would go back and forth under the toilet seats … lol 😅. He also made the the brackets so certain planes could insert cameras and take pictures both still and motion pictures, those bombers weren’t made with cameras 🎥. He was a wonderful engineer he made tin cars as a child that were perfect tin airplanes … and world class fart machines mouse trap racers rockets powered by bicycle air pumps built giant six shooters that held firecrackers he made me my own dbl barrel shotgun that really shot corks .. I had nerf guns before there was nerf and if you burnt the end of the cork nobody could say you missed ! He lived next door to me and was my dads best friend they hung out a lot unfortunately he passed away very early in his life his wife died from a brain bleed and he just stopped being Uncle Kenny he just rocked in his rocking chair quietly …. That man was the smartest man I have ever met .
